Honda Ultra-Quiet 2200i Companion EU2200iTC1 2200W Inverter Generator

The Honda Ultra-Quiet 2200i Companion (model EU2200iTC1) is the version of Honda's 2200-watt Companion inverter generator sold in Canada. It offers the same Honda GXR120 commercial series engine and 2200 W of 120 V inverter power (1800 W continuous) as the Ultra-Quiet 2200i, plus a 30 A twist-lock receptacle for parallel operation. Small but mighty, it weighs only 21.1 kg (46.5 lb).

Built for Canadian conditions

Honda Cold Climate Technology™ comes standard: its exclusive breather heater system helps prevent generator shutdown in freezing conditions, so you are not left without power in the cold. Like all Honda generators sold in Canada, the EU2200iTC1 meets or exceeds Canadian Standards Association (CSA) safety and EPA emissions standards.

Double your power

Connect the Companion with an Ultra-Quiet 2200i (EU2200i) for up to 4400 W maximum (3600 W rated). In parallel operation, its NEMA L5-30R twist-lock receptacle supplies 30 A at 120 VAC continuously.

Great for RVs and everyday appliances

Honda recommends the Companion for RV applications. It is ideal for a TV, video game console, satellite, fridge, coffee pot and more, and its inverter delivers stable power for sensitive electronics.

Whisper-quiet and efficient

At 48 dB(A) at 25% load and 57 dB(A) at rated load, it won't disturb your neighbours. Honda's Eco-Throttle™ system offers excellent fuel efficiency, with up to 8.1 hours of run time at 25% load on the 3.6-litre tank, or 3.2 hours at rated load.

What does "Companion" mean?

It is designed to be connected with an Ultra-Quiet 2200i (EU2200i) to double your power: up to 4400 W maximum (3600 W rated). In parallel operation, its 30 A twist-lock receptacle (NEMA L5-30R) supplies 30 A at 120 VAC.

Can I use it on its own?

Yes. On its own it delivers 2200 W maximum and 1800 W continuous output.

How long does it run per tank?

Up to 8.1 hours at 25% load, or about 3.2 hours at rated load, on its 3.6-litre (0.79 Imp. gal.) tank.

Same trusted performance, built to pair

The Companion delivers the identical 1800W rated / 2200W maximum output as Honda's standard EU2200i, so households and job sites that later add a second unit can combine both generators for higher combined wattage using Honda's optional parallel cable kit.

Clean, stable inverter power

Inverter technology keeps power output steady and free of spikes, making it safe for laptops, phones, and other sensitive electronics whether run alone or in parallel with a companion unit.

CO-Minder for added safety

Built-in CO-Minder technology monitors carbon monoxide levels near the generator and automatically shuts it down before concentrations become dangerous.

Key features

• 1800W rated / 2200W maximum output
• Designed to pair with a second unit via optional parallel cable kit
• CO-Minder automatic carbon monoxide shutoff
• Runs up to 8.1 hours at 1/4 load on a 0.95-gallon tank
• 47.4 lbs — easy to carry and store
• Recoil start

Frequently asked questions

What does "Companion" mean for this model?

It's designed to be paired with a second matching Honda inverter generator using an optional parallel cable kit, combining the output of both units when more power is needed.

Do I need the second generator to use this one?

No — it runs perfectly well on its own with the same 1800W/2200W output as the standard EU2200i; pairing is optional.

Does it include CO-Minder?

Yes, CO-Minder continuously monitors carbon monoxide levels and automatically shuts the unit down before they become dangerous.
